Gael's apartment was a perfect fit for us. It was extremely clean with modern furnishings. The kitchen had the basics and made it easy to prepare quick meals. There's a 7-11 across the street and a quick walk to the skytrain, massage parlours, restaurants and food carts. Also a laundry drop off around the corner.

I do recommend using the taxi service Gael recommends to get from the airport as it could be hard to find if you're not familiar with Bangkok.

The neighborhood is not in the heart of the sky scrapers and major shopping but can be easily accessed. I had no problem grabbing a taxi from the apartment or getting to the train. I recommend staying here if you're adventurous and don't need to be in the heart of chaos. I found it comforting at the end of a busy day exploring Bangkok to come back to a quiet apartment.
